Precision CNC Milling Setup Machinist -- VMC (Fanuc/Haas)

You roll up to a Haas or DMG Mori, call up the program, and start crafting accuracy. You choose the right tooling and fixtures, upload the program, and run a flawless first article using micrometers, calipers, and gauges. Blueprints aren’t just readable—they’re a roadmap you navigate with confidence. Throughout the shift you keep as many as two vertical milling centers humming, making smart offsets and light troubleshooting adjustments as you go. Depending on the job mix, you’ll knock out 1–5 setups in a single day, all while collaborating in a fast-paced, team-focused environment.
